☂ 19; a gown the colour of storms, shadows and rain

[Another exciting, exciting day at the Mayfield General Store! And another exciting appearance from your favourite bushy-eyed country. He seems to have come from shopping for clothes, judging by his bags. Except this time, he seems to be more beat-up and bandaged than usual, and he doesn't look altogether well... Then again, he seems more perturbed

What about electric kettles?

...And what happened to you?

[is_an_island]

[SNEEZING ALL OVER HIM]

... Sorry, what was that?

[scentofbauhinia]

[H-HOW DID I KNOW YOU'D PICK ME

I HATE YOU]

...That's disgusting.

[you are a winner!!

blowing his nose now]

Sorry. I was just out shopping for an electric kettle, if that's what you were asking.

[scentofbauhinia]

[still looking disgusted! but]

Why are you all beat up?

[is_an_island]

I'm perfectly fine.

I feel right as rain.

[scentofbauhinia]

You look terrible.

Did you get drunk and fall down five flights of stairs again?

[is_an_island]

I look excellent, as always, you prat.

Now are you going to help me find a proper kettle or are you going to stand around all day insulting me?

[scentofbauhinia]

...This is America. I doubt they have them.

[is_an_island]

... Maybe they're just not in this store, but they surely have them.

[scentofbauhinia]

I'll help you look.

But don't hold your breath.

[is_an_island]

Hmph.

It's no matter, I could come again tomorrow. I was just stopping by since I already bought some clothes, you know... on my way, that lot.

[scentofbauhinia]

[this is relevant to his interests

not that he expects any of it to be cool]...Yeah? Can I see them?

[is_an_island]

Oh, of course. I got them at very good prices, you see.

[opening the bag and taking out

a sweater vest...]

[scentofbauhinia]

...

Burn it.

[is_an_island]

What?

But it's a perfectly good vest.
